<h2><b>set ylint</b></h2>

<p>
<code>set ylint <i>interval</i></code>

<p>
Specifies the <code><i>interval</i></code> between labeled tick marks
on the Y-axis.


<p>
<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
<ol>
<li>If <code><i>interval</i></code> is a positive value, the labeled tick marks will
'start' at <code>0</code>, regardless of the current dimension environment. 
For example, if you set the <code><i>interval</i></code> to
<code>3</code>, the labeled tick marks will be at <code>0, 3, 6, 9</code> ...
<p>
<li>If <code><i>interval</i></code> is a negative value, the labeled tick marks
will 'start' at the axis start value, which is usually the lower limit
of the Y dimension environment. If this were <code>30</code> (with an
<code><i>interval</i></code> of <code>10</code>), then the labeled tick marks would
be at <code>30, 40, 50, 60</code>...

<li>This command will override the Y-axis tick mark interval specified with the
<a href="gradcomdsetyaxis.html"><code>set yaxis</code></a> command. 
<p>
<li>Reset by <a href="gradcomdclear.html">clear</a>, but not <a

<p>
<li><code>set ylint</code> and <a href="gradcomdsetxlint.html"><code>set xlint</code></a>
